Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Invite Jiang Zhe to My Specialty

Li Qian and Li Ran were of course willing!

The Physics department where Professor Wang worked was a highly sought-after major, ordinarily inaccessible to most people.

Both nodded at the same time.

Just as Madame Xia was about to invite them over to greet Wang Liang and formally become his disciples,

they heard Wang Liang speak, "Jiang Zhe, no matter what your family says, I’d still like to hear your own opinion."

Jiang Zhe had been listening to the conversation nearby without much interest, fingers sliding across her phone screen, casually replying to a few chat messages, not really paying much attention to what was happening around her.

Only when she heard her name did she slowly lift her eyelashes and saw Wang Liang and Ling Qian looking at her with eager faces.

"?" Jiang Zhe was a bit taken aback.

Madame Xia was even more taken by surprise, her pupils shaking violently.

Li Qian and Li Ran were just about to step forward, but when they heard this, they too halted in their tracks.

A strange quiet and silence fell upon everyone present.

Xia Mingli and Xia Mingzhu were the first to realize what was happening, and although they couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to, the fact remained that Wang Liang had indeed called Jiang Zhe by name, and he was indeed looking in her direction.

Xia Mingli felt the teacup in his hand grow hot, devoid of all fragrance and filled only with the smell of tea stems.

Xia Mingzhu’s fingers fidgeted awkwardly, unsure of where to place them.

"Jiang Zhe?" Seeing her in a daze, Wang Liang with his attractive fox-like eyes paused before calling her name again.

It was then that everyone else began to realize that Wang Liang’s visit was for Jiang Zhe!

All those enticing conditions he had offered, and his desire to take on an apprentice, were specifically meant for Jiang Zhe!

Madame Xia, with a smiling face, gently nudged Jiang Zhe’s arm, "Professor Wang is speaking to you."

Only then did Jiang Zhe realize, was Wang Liang trying to recruit her into his department?

Having no interest in going there, she naturally didn’t want to hold him up and said, "Sorry, Professor Wang, I’m already interested in another major."

Ling Qian, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but try to persuade her, "Jiang Zhe, Professor Wang is very sincere. I know you are recognized by Teacher Gao, but with your abilities, taking on another major simultaneously would be no problem at all."

His words, though seemingly innocuous to him, made those around him tremble with surprise.

Recognized by Teacher Gao?

Taking on another major simultaneously?

How could Jiang Zhe receive such favoritism, and how could it even be possible?

Were they sure they hadn’t mistaken the person?

"Sorry, Professor Wang, I really can’t," Jiang Zhe politely declined.

Wang Liang couldn’t hide his disappointment, "Can’t you consider it a bit more?"

"No, thank you."

Ling Qian wanted to say more, but for a moment, he didn’t know how to persuade her further.

With regret, Wang Liang stood up, leaving his business card behind, "Whenever you have any intention, feel free to contact me at any time."

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly in acknowledgement, accepting the business card, but her expression remained resolute, signaling that while she would take the card, her attitude wouldn’t change.

As Wang Liang rose to leave, Madame Xia said, "Professor Wang, could you possibly..."

She had wanted to ask if he could consider Li Qian and Li Ran.

In front of all these people, she wanted to salvage some face.

Wang Liang’s eyes turned towards her, and he also saw Li Qian and Li Ran standing behind her.

But clearly, neither Wang Liang nor Ling Qian recognized the two individuals and didn’t know who they were, nor why they were here, so they waited for the second Mrs. Xia to speak.

Xia Mingzhu immediately nudged the second Mrs. Xia, signaling her not to embarrass herself.

"Professor Wang, please take your time leaving," Xia Mingzhu directly took over the conversation.

Only after the two had left did Mrs. Xia express her surprise, "Xiaozhe, about Professor Wang and them..."

"I really didn’t expect them to come over, sorry for disturbing everyone’s meal," Jiang Zhe truly hadn’t anticipated this turn of events.

The second Mrs. Xia had just been through such an embarrassing episode that she nearly clawed through the floor with her toes.

Luckily, she hadn’t mentioned Li Qian and Li Ran. Otherwise, if Professor Wang didn’t recognize a single one, it would have been truly mortifying.

The elder Mrs. Xia had already realized that this was a matter of Jiang Zhe’s remarkable academic performance and was overjoyed, "Oh my, we have so many rare talents staying with us this time, no wonder I heard magpies chirping in the back garden, the younger generation is truly amazing."

Her words made Mrs. Xia beam with smiles while the entire family from the second room couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and their faces flushed.

Xia Mingli stopped drinking his tea and put his cup down on the table with a thud, "You guys eat slowly, I have some business to attend to."

Xia Mingzhu was puzzled in her heart, wondering just what was going on with Jiang Zhe, how had she won the favor of these professors?

Could it be that she really achieved some earth-shattering academic results this time?

Li Qian and Li Ran couldn’t eat anymore and excused themselves to leave early.

Xia Tang looked at Jiang Zhe, "If there’s anything you need help with, just speak up. Now, let’s eat."

After Xia Mingzhu returned to her room, she called her friend to check on Jiang Zhe’s academic results.

"I haven’t seen Jiang Zhe’s results. I heard she is a student personally sought after by Teacher Gao, and her results are tightly sealed. There is neither a ranking nor specific scores given out."

"So she’s going to follow Teacher Gao from now on?" Xia Mingzhu asked.

"It’s unclear. Even if she does follow Teacher Gao, it’s not really a big deal. Teacher Gao’s area doesn’t have any conflict with our research."

After Xia Mingzhu inquired all around, she still didn’t know the exact details, but one thing was certain—indeed, some teachers highly recognized Jiang Zhe’s achievements.

She found it somewhat amusing, not knowing what the results were that had the professors so concerned that they even made a house call.

But besides allowing Jiang Zhe to put on an act, what use would a house call serve?

Whether in school or in research, what mattered was true ability and learning, not putting on airs or saving face!

Jiang Zhe was still far from a truly high position.

...

In the car.

Qin Hai drove steadily.

Qin Jingchen rubbed his forehead gently, easing the fatigue of a day’s hustle.

"Jingchen, so if the Divine Doctor can’t be found now, do we just stop looking?" Fen Ye asked.

As Qin Feng’s belly grew bigger by the day, looking as if she could give birth any moment, and there was still no clue from the Divine Doctor, Fen Ye was getting anxious.

The elder Mrs. Qin was also worried.

Fen Ye had already hastened the search, but as always, there had been no progress.

The messages sent out had sunk like a stone, with no response whatsoever.

An unusual light flickered in Qin Jingchen’s usually deep eyes.

He spoke evenly, "If we can find him, we’ll find him; if not, then let it be."

"But..." Fen Ye was confused by his demeanor, which did not seem worried, and he couldn’t understand why.

Qin Feng had always been the eldest sister, the one who raised them as they grew up.
